005 Video [OPEN]

[The video flicks on and Freya's smiling happily at the screen.]

Hello boys and girls, we have a great program for you today. It'll include fun topics like: why you should NOT use glitter on the 14th floor of the communal housing, how to make a model using a lot of glue and we'll throw in a little bit about forces and how they work. Let's tune in with our co-host for more information! [The picture blurs and then Lockon appears in focus with glitter... everywhere.]

Don't be alarmed that our co-host looks like a stripper. That's his night job... not his day job/

[Lockon shakes his head, which of course just makes the glitter stuck in his hair more noticeable, and chuckles.] Actually, my co-host here decided that since our model is supposed to be in space, there needed to be stars. And threw the glitter. [He's standing next to said model which, in all honesty, looks like a grade five science project.]

You brought the glitter.

To apply carefully to the model. Which is not me, by the way.

But you're so cute with glitter! Look at you shine. I can't look away because you're so pretty Neil.

Hey, only my brother gets to call me that!

How about I call you honey or snoochums?

[Lockon grumbles.] Honey is fine. [Is he blushing a little? Why, yes, yes he is.]

Great! So, kids or whoever our raved viewers are, you'd like to know about how this model works right? Honey? Want to explain the space elevator?

Right! [Lockon clears his throat and tries to look like he isn't shimmering at every angle. He gestures to what looks like a papier-mâché Earth. The oceans and continents are painted on in rough approximations of their shapes. It's a little lumpy for Earth, but it's not like they had a globe they could just modify!]

As you can see, this is Earth. Here, here, and here are the orbital elevators that lead from the surface into space. [Three long spokes, that look like they were once hangers, stick out from the model.] On the Earth I'm from, we use solar power and these three elevators are the key to harnessing it.

For those kids who don't know, solar power is energy that is collected from the sun! [She flashes Neil a smile.] Tell us honey~ where do these elevators go? what are they used for?

They're the support structures for these, [He points to the two rings, which were also once hangers, around the model Earth.] They also serve as a means of transport between the surface and space. After all, someone has to maintain the equipment in space right?

Right. So what do people do in space Hoooooney.

Maintain the equipment that provided solar energy to Earth. Let me add the disclaimer now: I'm not a scientist of any sort. This is the sort of information you'd get on the documentary on the ride into space.

[He pauses, giving a serious look to the camera, before turning his attention back to the shoddy model. ] This outer ring, the high orbital ring as it's called, is home to the disks that harness the sun's energy like... solar panels. Where the ring intersects with the orbital elevator there's a high orbital station staffed with personnel to protect and maintain the function of the disks.

There we have it! Thank you for tuning into today's session of WE HAVE GLITTER! See us next time

[Freya flashes another flirty smile and then the screen goes black.]

[ooc: Actions are open for floor Communal Floor 14. For video's let us know in the subject if it's for Freya, Neil or both. If it's for one of them and it isn't private, the other might chime in! BLUE is Freya & GREEN is Neil.]

[ Well, there's no denying he's going to have glitter in his hair for the foreseeable future. The mess made from the papier-mâché is mostly contained, but the paper scraps and glitter are everywhere. ]

I don't suppose there's a vacuum up here?

[Does he look amused? He looks amused. Orion might not have actually been paying attention to the actual broadcast.]

Better him than me.

[No, that is not an invitation, Freya.]

Careful, you just might give her the idea to start carrying it around with her. She's sneaky like that.

So, we're honey now are we?

Also glitter? Seriously?

Aside from the insight into glitter, I presume the lesson and the model were education about the technology and structures used in other universes?

I'll never get back the time that I lost watching this.

You threw the glitter. I think that makes it your fault.

[ He's teasing, mostly. It's not like he's upset about it, though he does feel bad for the residents. As much as he and Freya try to clean, they people living here are going to find little shimmers here and there for a long time to come. ]

I was thinking more like... we could put on the Earth or paint a backdrop with the glitter to look like space.

It was for science, Lyle.

Something like that. I wasn't prepared for teach an audience great than one. Have you seen Freya pout? It's hard to stay no to that.

In my defense, this whole thing was only supposed to be for her. I didn't have a lesson plan or anything like that.

[ His look clearly says something like 'slipped, my ass!' Sure, the glitter's going to be a problem -- hopefully he won't drag too much of it home to Lyle and the pets -- but overall, the project was fun. ]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ban you from using crafting glitter for a while.

[ Somehow, he manages not to laugh. He meets her gaze, a serious expression with only a hint of amusement in the slightly crinkle around his good eye. After a drawn out pause, he sighs and looks down, resigned. ]

Alright.

[ Barely have the words left before he shakes his head, scattering some of the glitter in his hair. ]
breqintopieces: (That so?)

[personal profile] breqintopieces 2018-06-26 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I have not. The model was initially for Freya, then?

[personal profile] breqintopieces 2018-06-26 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I personally have heard that shuttles and stations are more efficient. I agree that it is interesting, though.

Maybe even more so than public service announcements about the dangers of crafts.

So was it the nickname that was for science or the massive amount of glitter?

Well, I don't think its a bad nickname, but its not one I'd use for him. That might be juuuust a little bit weird.
mutant_messiah: (Smirkish)

[personal profile] mutant_messiah 2018-06-26 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, at least it wasn't me getting the shiny end of the glitter bomb you let off.
